pmelange:

With commit 1e41de2, @chunkeey added simpleImage support for the WDR4900 V1. Now with kernel version 5.10, the simpleImage is no longer working. Please, if possible, extend support for this device with an updated simpleImage.

Just as a bit of extra info. There are currently 26 WDR4900's in active use on the Freifunk-Berlin network. I hope this information is a bit of encouragement for the further development of a new safeloader solution. Thank you @NeoRaider for the work done so far.

I just tested https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/neoraider.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/mpc85xx-spi-loader and it boots 22.03.0

BusyBox v1.35.0 (2022-09-03 02:55:34 UTC) built-in shell (ash)

@pmelange thanks, was the rebase difficult? is your branch online somewhere? did you test sysupgrade from OpenWrt 21.02 and/or 19.07 ?

@Akira25 built the image and asked me to test it. @Akira25, can you comment on the rebase?

It was quite easy, but I didn't do a rebase. I downloaded the three most recent commits from here (those three from Matthias Schiffer) as patches.

Then I chechked out 22.03.0-tag from the openwrt-mainline-repo and applied the patches in order. Then I've build the whole stuff and apparently it worked out well.

I didn't push the branch anywhere, but it should be trivial to reproduce it with the patches.

So the question is, who decides it the patches of @NeoRaider will be merged into the main branch, so we have an official build of maybe 22.03.1 for the WDR4900 V1?

Adding myself to CC; someone's sending a WDR4900v1 to test.

Is there any chance to get this merged for 22.03.1? There was an announcement on the openwrt-devel list that 22.03.1 is being prepared

I agree. This should be included into 22.03.1. Many Freifunk-Routers in the Berlin Network depend on this change to get recent firmware.
